Our Local Projects
Elevation Outdoors
Elevation Outdoors’ mission is to enhance the lives of underprivileged youth via participation in specially designed outdoor sports programs; and to help youth develop lasting passion for these sports while drawing parallels to life through the experience and learning life skills along the way. In December 2023, Ogopogo Rotary was proud to provide a $10,000 donation, which was matched by the Stober Foundation, making these life-changing programs available to more Kelowna youth.
Camp OAC
Camp OAC is a children's summer camp located just north of Kelowna on the beautiful Okanagan lake! Since 1950, Camp OAC has had thousands of campers attend their summer camps. In the offseason, the amazing property is available for rentals to host family reunions, get-togethers, weddings, and school group rentals.
Camp OAC is a place that everyone can enjoy.

YMCA/YWCA Donations
Salvation Army Kettle
Together, the District Rotary Clubs and Habitat for Humanity built 10 homes in downtown Anityville to provide home ownership to families living in substandard housing, helping those in need blow by the bubbles of the housing markets.
Operation Pollination
The Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group Pollinator Task Force educates and supports action on four simple ways to protect pollinators: grow pollinator-friendly flowers, provide nest sites, avoid pesticides, and spread the word. To support Operation Pollination, Ogopogo Rotary planted a pollinator garden on what was formerly a weedy space on city property. Butterflies now flock to eco-friendly plants, bringing life and beauty to the garden.
